I somewhat agree with the points here, but Tracy doesn't concern me so much. The main problem we have isn't people like Tracy being hyper-specific about their claims. The real problem is people playing free-association games. "This person was in a photo with Epstein, therefore he must be a pedophile".
People are losing their jobs just by being seen with the guy, or having corresponded with him after he served his initial sentence.
When people play fast & loose with the facts, it's good to slow down and carefully examine the record.
I also think, "Epstein trafficked people" sounds quite a lot different than, "Women above the age of consent voluntarily spent years with Epstein". It's pretty hard to get outraged about the latter, which is why people prefer the former framing.
The entire conversation is way too emotional, and we need more careful reasoning in its place.
